Money box toy assembly structure

The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202421985025.7, filed on Aug. 15, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

The present invention relates to the technical field of building block toys, in particular to a money box toy assembly structure.

A money box is a container designed for storing coins. For easy access, a door is typically incorporated into the container. For example, the patent “CN218165965U” named “A MULTI-FUNCTIONAL MONEY BOX TOY” discloses a multi-functional money box toy, including a body, a door, an astronaut decorative component, a space robot rotating head, a button, a top cover, and a base. The body is movably connected to the door. The astronaut decorative component is installed on an outer surface of the door, and the space robot rotating head and the button are installed on the astronaut decorative component. The top cover is attached to an upper part of the body, and the base is fixed to the bottom of the body.

For another example, the patent “CN201691230U” named “SAFE-STYLE DEPOSIT BOX” discloses a safe-style deposit box, including a body, a coin slot and a coin access door that are disposed on the body. A password lock is disposed on the coin access door, and a counting circuit that counts the total amount of money deposited by the coin slot and a display screen that is connected to the counting circuit for displaying the total amount of money are disposed in the body.

Although an existing money box can be used for saving money, the body structure is more complex. In addition, a plurality of screws are required for assembly, with a cumbersome assembly process and high production costs. The structure needs to be assembled during manufacturing, resulting in a large size of a packaging box, and the structure is not convenient for transportation.

In view of the foregoing deficiencies, the present invention aims to provide a money box toy assembly structure that is well-designed and easy to assemble, with a smaller size and less space after disassembly.

To achieve the foregoing objectives, the following technical solutions are provided in the present invention.

A money box toy assembly structure includes a body and a door, where the body includes a door frame, a top plate, a bottom plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, and a back plate; the door frame and the back plate are provided with slots on relative surface periphery positions, and the slots are provided with clamping protrusions; front and rear ends of the top plate, the bottom plate, the left side plate, and the right side plate are provided with tongues that are matched with the slots, and the tongues are provided with clamping holes that are matched with the clamping protrusions; and side hooks on the top plate, the left side plate, and the right side plate, and side hooks on the bottom plate, the left side plate, and the right side plate are matched with each other.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, left and right ends of the top plate and the bottom plate are provided with chamfered flanges, and upper and lower ends of the left side plate and the right side plate are provided with sockets that are matched with the shape of the chamfered flanges. Through the collaboration of the chamfered flanges and the sockets, the left side plate, the right side plate, the top plate, and the bottom plate are closely connected, with a more accurate alignment, to further enhance the stability of the structure.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, the side hooks on the top plate and the bottom plate are oriented in a same direction, the side hooks on the left side plate and the right side plate are oriented in a same direction, and the side hook on the top plate is opposite to the side hook on the left side plate. A mutual structure of the side hooks between the adjacent plates that are facing the opposite direction can prevent relative sliding between the plates, is not easy to loosen, and can achieve stable connection without additional fasteners. In this way, the stability and the durability of the overall structure are improved.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, the top plate is provided with a coin slot. The coin slot is set for a user to put in coins or banknotes, to realize a basic function of the money box.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, four corners of a bottom surface of the bottom plate are provided with supporting feet, with good placement stability.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, the clamping protrusion is an inverted hook, and the clamping hole is a square hole. The clamping protrusions and the clamping holes are well matched, and the design of the square hole is convenient for the accurate insertion of the clamping protrusion, to facilitate the assembly.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, the tongue is provided with a guide slot that extends along an insertion and unplugging direction of the tongue, and the slot is provided with a guide sheet that is matched with the guide slot. The guide slot and the guide sheet are well matched, to guide the tongue to be accurately inserted into the slot, and further simplify the assembly process. In addition, a position of the tongue on each plate is adjusted, to ensure error-proofing functions and prevent misassembly.

In a preferred solution of the present invention, one side of the door is provided with a hinged shaft, an inner side of the door frame is provided with a hinged slot that is matched with the hinged shaft, a notch of the hinged slot is provided with a fixed base, and the hinged shaft can be prevented from falling out of the hinged slot through the fixed base.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are that: the structure of the present invention is well-designed. Through the cooperation of the slots and the tongues, the clamping protrusions and the clamping holes, and the adjacent side hooks, the assembly and disassembly processes are simple and quick, and children can complete the assembly without any additional tools. The easy-to-use and user-friendly structure facilitates children's learning of assembly skills through the play. In addition, no assembly is required during manufacturing, so that a production cycle is effectively shortened and manufacturing costs are lowered without assembly processes. Components are stacked, to minimize the size and decrease the occupied volume during transportation to avoid excessive shipping costs. The compact structure also ensures convenient storage and portability for outdoor use.

Embodiment: With reference toto, the embodiment of the present invention provides a money box toy assembly structure, including a body and a door. The body includes a door frame, a top plate, a bottom plate, a left side plate, a right side plate, and a back plate.
